Michelin Dynamic Classic Tire

I refurbish older vintage steel bikes and need a tire the fits the period. The dynamic classic is the most affordable vintage looking tan sidewall available. It seems to ride good enough and so far with only a few hundred miles has held up against flats. When on sale they used to cost not much. HOWEVER, BTD DOES NOT DISCOUNT THEM MUCH ANYMORE.....HINT HINT. If they did I would buy more often. A second thing I like is the size of the 25 and 28mm are close to what the claim is- just a bit under on 19mm rims. Other companies can be way off! Bought some American Classics and their 25mm was actually 22.5mm! rip! If I wanted 23mm tires I already have a stack of them in the back.

That said these are a bit on the heavy side when compared to more expensive tires but thats to be expected given the price. A 25mm is about 310g each. Your adding about 80g per tire when compared to say a Conti 5000. It is rotating weight which will effect acceleration a bit. So if you are not a weight weenie nor are you pounding crits where every second counts you will be happy with this tire base on its affordability and cool vintage look.

Fixing old bikes left in garages and these tires are great choice on older road bikes.

Love the tan wall looks on vintage bikes.

Great price and a good value for a durable, every day road tire.

For a clincher it's light weight yet with a thicker, more durable tread.

Great tire value for the money

I have an 88' Peugeot Triathlon. It originally came with Michelin Hi-Lite Road tires... I had been looking for a beige wall tire for a long time. I was told to checkout Bike Tires Direct and they had exactly what I was looking for!! The price was too good so I bought 3!!! Great company will do business with them again...

Great price. Perfect for a vintage bike restoration.

I have used these Michelin Dynamic Classics on many vintage restorations. Quality is always consistent, they mount on the rim easily, and they give a good ride. Look great too on vintage road bikes. Price is also reasonable.

i bought these tires for my 1984 Trek 560 because they are a cheap replacement that gives that vintage gumwall look. the 700c25 are slightly taller than the previous tires that were on my bike. they rub against the underside of the brake caliper so im not sure how to fix this rubbing without either deflating the tire significantly or pulling the rim down lower in the dropouts which causes slipping of the rim within the dropout. seeking an alternative

I trust and enjoy Michelin tires. The gumwall looks great on my 1988 Gitane 12 speed bike. I would buy this tire again.

great training tire

Use these for training and general riding my road bike. Bought them on sale, and for the money they are great. Comfortable and fairly quiet. A little squirm on high speed turns, but 28mm width good for even mild trail riding on my road bike.

Affordable tire, have put around 200 commuting miles on it so far with no issues or strong signs of wear

New tires for an old schwinn

Installed on my "city" bike. Only 100 miles or so on them. Really like the feel and rolling resistance of the tire. Not sure how they will handle the rain.

Killer everyday tyre! At $9.99 a tyre it was well worth it! Smooth ride and great grip! I even got it to fit on my Specialized Tarmac road bike!

Most of my 70's steel beauties are shod with these tires. Hundreds of miles on each with absolutely no problem. Makes it a lot easier to keep so many bikes rolling when you aren't spending $$$$ on tires that may be a little lighter but cost 5 X as much. Less $$ spent on tires more $$ for more restoration projects.

Excellent ride quality.

i bought these for about 10.00ea. which is a really great deal i think. i have them on my lighter faster set of wheels for when i am not touring. they are also pretty darn flat resistant i think, because the first 200 miles has been flat free and i have a pretty rough commute.

I purchased a set of these tires for a 1980 Peugeot Competition bike I have been restoring. The tires provide both the look and ride I was after for such a classic bike. They are an excellent value and provide a smooth ride on the bike. Highly recommend.
